An Analysis of DoS Attack Strategies Against the LTE RAN

Abstract: Long Term Evolution (LTE) is the latest 3GPP mobile network standard, offering an all-IP network with higher efficiency and up to ten times the data rates of its predecessors. Due to an increase in cyber crime and the proliferation of mobile computing, attacks stemming from mobile devices are becoming more frequent and complex. Mobile malware can create smart-phone botnets in which a large number of mobile devices conspire to perform malicious activities on the cellular network. It has been shown that such bot… Show more

“…However their DoS attacks are against the network and not against LTE subscribers. Through simulations the authors in [62] show that Botnets can cause DoS attacks by exhausting subscriber traffic capacity over the air interface. A proof of concept paper by P. Jover et al [63] provides an overview of new effective attacks (smart jamming) that extend the range and effectiveness of basic radio jamming.…”

“…As opposed to the DoS attacks against the UE, Jover et al [15] discuss a DoS attack against the EPC using a compromised UE/eNodeB that sends huge number of attach request messages to the EPC and thus takes the EPC down. Jermyn et al [55] show a similar DoS attack and simulate a set of compromised UEs that exhaust the victim UEs' traffic capacity. Golde et al [38] exploit a race condition in the paging message responses in 2G networks that enables a malicious UE to send the paging response message before the victim UE, and thus preventing the victim UE from receiving incoming phone calls/SMS.…”

“…Jermyn and Zonunz, [35] studied the DoS attacks on the LTE and MAC uplink scheduler that cause several attacks. They state that such attacks depend on the QoSs (Quality of Services) requested by the clients.…”
